I routinely shoot 1300-yards, on paper, started shooting 1,000 meters at Quantico and then at Lejeune, been doing it for thirty years, and I NEVER TARGET GAME AT RANGES THAT EXCEED 600-yards. Its unethical, in my opinion to do so, and unless you have VERY GOOD ANSWERS to the above 15 questions, you shouldn't be doing it either.

I'm kinda wondering why an old Marine such as myself would be wondering about "external ballistics programs" or any other fancy dancy new fangled BS. I was shooting long range before any of that crap was ever dreamed of with the old lightly modified M40 and M40A1 and we certainly had nothing along those lines. BD card, a protractor and weighted string, Stadiametric scopes for finding range was state of the art back then. You kids get all the new fun toys !
